Analyst Report

This ETF offers 2x daily leverage to gold prices, making UGL a powerful tool for expressing a bullish outlook on precious metals. It should be noted that the daily reset feature combined with the explicit leverage in this ETF make UGL inappropriate for investors without the ability or willingness to monitor this position on a regular (daily) basis. Moreover, investors should note that the underlying index won't always move in unison with spot gold prices, even over the course of simply a single trading session. For sophisticated investors with a fair amount of tolerance for risk and volatility, this ETF can be a very powerful tool. But UGL shouldn't ever be found in a long-term, buy-and-hold portfolio; it's simply too risky, and the nuances of this fund make significant losses possible when held for an extended period of time in volatile markets. UGL is a trading instrument, and should be treated as such.
